It’s also possible the scale of the AA and features are exaggerated since it’s an animated character being brought to life as well as for better visibility of the character from the ride itself

I last went to Uni in spring 2021, and I had such a good time. Stayed at the new value hotel on the old wet and wild site, and it was super cheap and crazy nice at the same time. Definitely nicer than Disney values imo and a cheaper deal. One thing I think universal did well to start was making...

I think for me, it’s broadening the horizons of what the “frontier” is in Frontierland. When you come down to it, New Orleans and St. Louis were kinda the gateways to the frontier beyond, and the west has a much more varied environment than just red rocks. The point can be argued either way...

That’s definitely a way you can guarantee you’re first in line for opening day!

You could kinda fold this into an idea for a villains park “what if there was no happily ever after?” I like the two examples you give

Did you keep the park with just the 3 existing train stations or did you add any additional? I’ve always found it odd MK has less stations than Disneyland despite being a good deal bigger

What I think is an overlooked interesting/impressive thing with all this is the minimal rerouting of the train track you had to do. Just a small adjustment in the top left of the park

Been closed longer than it was open at this point Edit: referring to wonders of life here, not stitch to make it clearer

I kinda like super hero island at universal in that it doesn’t try to have a realistic place setting, but comic book quirkiness. Granted Disney is trying to make lands based off their movie IP, but I think you’ll run into the issue with setting as you always said

Single IP lands should only work with very specific franchises imo. Things like Star Wars and Harry Potter are a no brainer because they’re cultural phenomenons. Even Toy Story and frozen have tons of staying power. I’ve always argued with pandora that it shows that non IP lands could work to...

The best part of it is the queue honestly. Super cool and well done but the ride is such wasted potential

I heard on Alicia Stella’s podcast that it’s possible Helios is behind in construction which is why they haven’t opened reservations up for it yet. She’s usually pretty spot on with universal news, so I’d wager she’s on to something. Though whether or not that puts it on a later timeline than...

I’d believe that. I think they’re gonna aggressively add to their existing parks in the years following EU opens to try and create draws for the hordes of people coming to the new parks. Not to mention that EU already has some credible rumors for phase 2 expansions

USO just has zero flow to it at all. The only area with any cohesion is the minions area and even that looks at least from videos to be kinda out of place right at the entrance. I like men and black, diagon alley and mummy, but I really can leave the rest of that park. I do get why they’re...

Wouldn’t tower of terror count given the twilight zone IP? Though you could probably remove the twilight zone theme and keep it as “haunted cursed hotel” and it wouldn’t hurt the ride experience that much

Time will tell. The prequels certainly has a better more cohesive story than the sequels have. But the clone wars show did a ton of heavy lifting fleshing out the prequel into something more well rounded

I disagree. It’s Star Wars. Even if it’s themed after the newer trilogy, the brand still has incredible staying power. I also think the sequels are going to go through the same sort of rehabilitation the prequels did as this generation of kids gets older. I say this as a prequel kid that I...

I mean hey, I just roll down the street to chipotle to get peco bills that’s not nearly as expensive and tastes a lot better than going to PB

The biggest critique which ties into the first part is the excessive downtime it experiences, which is by far the biggest flaw of the ride
